No, realm stats are not published by blizz
So itās just made up then?
In retail you donāt need faction balance, you just need population. You can have 90:10 and still stuff progressing.
nobody believes in your sympathi
you rolled horde, thats enough said
Yea my guess
Iām in the realm still, there was 1 or 2 others in Ironforge and horde just freely sitting in the AH/bank area. Now Iām in STV and there is no oneā¦ Iāve been /who 'ing and there is only ever 1 or 2 people in each zone who missed the transfer window like me I guess. Just going to keep questing and hope the server rebuilds?

Yes but that is a recent development. The huge retail servers have been incredibly imbalanced for the majority of WoWs lifetime already. No one sane called them dead.
No problem I donāt need you to believe me
I understand you, but this is neither right nor wrong.
Yes Campers probably left and we still have to deal with them. But for example: If i went to Diremaul i not just met Campers, but casual Hordes as well - which lead to 5-6 death in Avg to get into a dungeon. Even if the alliance grouped up - which they didnt - they were outnumbered 1 to 2(or more) and we all know that numbers win in classic, you cannot do alot against it.
So if just a bunch of camping guilds followed us, we have a much better time, because the numbers are more equal.

That to me is not enough to call a server dead with intellectual honesty. If you had evidence then sure. However considering that Flamelash has had thousands of players appear in raid logs in the past couple weeks it is very difficult for me to believe that it is actually dead suddenly. Imbalanced for sure but servers donāt just die that quickly. Itās a gradual process.
Yea because after everything became instanced and teleporteable faction imbalance meant nothing? There is no instance entrance camping, flight path camping, etc.
Whatever man,
I would complain before the transfers and will complain now too.
The server is dead. There is not enough alliance to play with.
That is not a dead server though. You donāt need Alliance if you play Horde. With xrealm BGs it makes no difference when it comes to your honor grinding. At worst what you have is a PvE server where you can talk and trade with everyone around you.
Yes It does make a difference. Its a PVP server.
Bgs and gear lose their value for me if i cant go battling allies in the open world of my server

It makes a difference but not to your honor grind. This is just a personal preference of yours and you are calling a server dead because it doesnāt meet that preference. Nothing wrong with preferences but donāt assume that everyone shares yours. From a population perspective I have no reason to believe that Flamelash is actually dead, or anywhere close to dead.
I donāt care about grinding honor. I care about pvping.
To give you an example, i like PVP best, but i only got to rank 3 and was even demoted to rank 2 as i did not like the discusting pvp that was going on in our server.
Lets not lose track though.
This discussion is about worsening a server already in bad condition instead of making it better.
In addition leaving people stranded in it.
Hello? Please help?? Blizzard???

For that purpose you are surely on the wrong server. All large WoW servers have always been stupidly imbalanced. What you need is a medium to small server that is somewhat balanced. Itās not ideal but that is just the reality of WoW servers.
It is not game problem, it is human problem.
This is the just the beginning. Everyone large pop PvP server will be 1 sided, just like all the PvP servers in retail. There is nothing Blizzard can do to change that.
Thing is - leaving things as they are now - server would have died anyway - not in 2 days of course - iād give it 2-3 months.
Horde on all horde dominating servers have(or rather had) opportunity to transfer to other servers with less imbalance (though i blame blizzard for not pointing at servers with less imbalance) they just choose not to - they choose to mock people and tell them to re-roll or go pve(or go to retail).
So as less and less ally had patience to lose their time for opposite faction to have fun, the less of them remain playing. Leading to exactly same result - dead on ally side server.
It just happens that the process was more sudden than it should have been if things went bormal. And less sudden cause some of Horde followed ally exodus(after their public announcements everywhere).
